Warnings and instructions • EasySense must be used only with Philips Advance Xitanium SR LED driver.

• Do not apply mains power directly to the sensor.

• Do not cover the sensor during operation or mount the sensor recessed.

• External infrared light source in the space might have influence on occupancy detection.

• Incorrect location of sensor (e.g., outside the view angle of the occupancy sensor) will result in occupancy detection not functioning correctly.

• When recalibration is needed for adapting to environment changes, make sure the SR driver is power cycled. See System startup behaviors/Auto-calibration section for details.

• Faulty settings of the sensor might result in undefined startup behavior; make sure field task level is set higher than the background light level.

• Make sure the sensor, especially the occupancy detection lens, is protected from damage during shipment and handling.

• The application area of EasySense is designed for a typical indoor environment (open/private offices, conference rooms, classrooms, corridors, etc.) in normally heated and ventilated areas. EasySense has no protection against aggressive chemicals or water.

Introduction of EasySense

The Philips EasySense fixture-mount sensor is the ideal solution for per-fixture,

stand-alone control of new light fixtures. It combines occupancy sensing, daylight

harvesting and field task tuning in a single, compact package for easy OEM fixture

assembly. EasySense operates with the established Philips Advance Xitanium SR

LED driver standard to make a simple two-wire connection between sensor and driver,

thus eliminating the need for multiple components and auxiliary devices. The result

is a cost-effective and easy-to-design-in solution, ideal for energy-savings and

code-compliancy strategies. While the sensor pre-set parameters are appropriate for

most applications, an intuitive app makes configuration and commissioning (grouping)

during installation fast and easy.

EasySense with Basic Grouping (SNS 102) functionaility enables addition of qualified

wireless switches. Up to 40 sensors can be grouped to a switch using Philips field apps.

In addition to easily adding user control to a space, the grouping feature facilitates

auto-off/manual-on and auto-off/partial-on use cases.

Product characteristics

EasySense overview

EasySense contains multiple functions in one housing and uses two wires to

connect with an SR driver. (See wiring diagram in the Mechanical design-in section.)

Functions include:

• RF antenna

• NFC antenna

EasySense is designed for a typical indoor environment (open/private offices, conference

rooms, classrooms, corridors, etc.) in normally heated and ventilated areas. EasySense has

no protection against aggressive chemicals or water. The sensor is normally mounted to a

luminaire and is optimized for a sensor mounting height of 8ft to 10ft (2.5m to 3m).

NFC antenna

The EasySense sensor can be configured through NFC (near field communication) using a smart phone with the EasySense NFC app. NFC is the set of protocols that enables electronic devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching the devices together or bringing them into proximity to a distance of typically 0.4"/1cm or less.

Parameters for lighting controls can all be configured. (See the Lighting control section.)

RF antenna

The RF antenna allows communication via RF technology. It should not be covered by metal and should be exposed to free air to ensure there is sufficient range. This functionality is not available in SNS100.

Infared (IR) receiver

The infrared receiver serves as a communication portal for the commissioning tools. EasySense with grouping functionality is enabled and commissioned (grouping) by a

smart phone with the EasySense IR app. This functionality is not available in SNS100.

Motion detector

The occupancy sensor is a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor that detects movement with an X-Y cross-area under an angle of X = 72° and Y = 86°. Two types of movements are defined in NEMA WD7 as follows:

Major movement: movement of a person walking into or through an area.

Minor movement: movement of a person sitting at an office desk reaching for a telephone, turning the pages in a book, opening a file folder, picking up a coffee cup, etc.

When installed in a typical office ceiling at H, the sensor is sensitive to minor movements within X1 by Y1 area. It will respond to minor movements down to a few centimeters at the task area of a desk and is sensitive to major movements within a range of X2 by Y2. The maximum recommended height to place the sensor in the ceiling is 10ft/3m to assure movement coverage and detection. The PIR sensor reacts on movement by means of a temperature difference, such as the human body temperature versus its surrounding temperature. A car that just starts its engine is not seen by the PIR nor does the PIR see people sitting within the car or a forklift truck. Therefore, it is recommended not to use EasySense in outdoor, parking or industrial applications. Please refer to the EasySense datasheet for coverage area details.

Sensor view shield

The sensor comes with an occupancy view shield that can be used to block the movement detection by the sensor in a certain area. The shield comes inverted. (See Figure 2.) This view shield can be pulled out, flipped and inserted back in the sensor and then rotated so the correct area is shielded off from the detection area. If such shield is not needed in the application, it can be easily pulled out from the sensor or left inverted.

Product

Characteristics

Light sensor

The light sensor is a photo diode that reads average light level captured under an angle

of approximately 40°. The intensity of the illuminance depends on the amount of artificial

and/or natural light supplied in the office, as well as how this light is reflected toward the

ceiling/sensor. The EasySense converts the illuminance signal into ON/OFF or dimming

commands to the Xitanium SR driver in order to maintain a constant light level on the desk.

The sensor should be installed with a minimum distance of 0.6m/2ft to the window to

avoid the sensor looking outside. When the sensor is mounted too close to the window it

will look partly outside. Sun reflection from cars or snow can reflect directly into the sensor.

The sensor will then measure such high illumination levels that it will drive the artificial light

to its minimal level or even switch off the artificial lights. The optimum distance [Y] from

the window to EasySense can be obtained from Figure 4. This graph shows the relation

between the distance from the window to the sensor [Y] and the height [H] of the sensor

(H, height of the sensor measured from ceiling to bottom of window sill).

LED indicator

The product contains an LED indicator to help comply with California Title 20 requirements.

The LED indicator is enabled by default, and it can be disabled through the app. The

behavior of the LED is as follows:

Yellow LED on: = vacancy & light sensor are functional.

Red LED on: = motion is detected and hold time is not expired yet.

System Startup

Behavior and

Auto-calibrationSystem startup behavior and auto-calibration

System startup behavior

When the sensor is powered (mains of driver is switched on or a momentary power dip

is detected by the sensor), the sensor performs an auto-calibration routine.

Auto-calibration routine

Below describes the calibration routine.

• Light is switched on at maximum light level set by max of

AOC (adjustable output current of the driver).

• Light dims down to minimum dimming level.

• Sensor stores the value detected by the light sensor.

• Light dims up to maximum light level which is set by the field task level.

• Sensor stores the value detected by the light sensor.

• A calculation is executed, and calibration set point will be determined.

• Light dims down to the task level that meets the set point.

Warning

Make sure no objects are blocking the sensor’s view and no surface reflectance changes

occur in the sensor’s view during auto calibration.

Lighting control

Easysense enables stand-alone LED lighting systems with integrated occupancy sensing

and daylight harvesting. Grouping control is activated through the Philips field app

(Easysense IR) and adding wireless switches to the group. The wireless switches

also address the use-cases of manual on/auto off, partial on/auto off and manual

dimming override.

Terminology used in this chapter

All parameters are stored in the sensor, and most of the parameters can be configured

through NFC or IR.

• Fade to switch on/off time

• Hold time

• Grace fading time

• Prolong time

• Field task level

• Background level

• Occupancy mode selection

• Eco on level

• Occupancy mode selection

Fade to switch-on time is the time (T1 to T2) from the point at which occupancy is

detected until the lights dim up to the max light output. This timer is set to 0.7 sec and

is not configurable.

Hold time is the time (T3 to T4) from the point at which the last movement has been de-

tected (e.g., occupant left the room) until grace time starts. This timer is set to 15 minutes by

default and can be configured from to 1 – 120 minutes.

Grace fading time is the time from T4 to T5 during which the lights are being dimmed down

from the current light level to the background level. By default, grace fading time is 10 sec

and can be configured to 0 – 25 seconds.

Prolong time is the time from T5 to T6 at which the background level is maintained at a

fixed level. Default prolong time is 15 minutes and can be configured from 0 – infinity.

Fade to switch-off time is the time (T6 to T7) for the lights to fade from background level to

off after prolong time is expired. This timer is set to 0.7 sec and is not configurable.

Field task level is used to configure the required light level on the task plane. Setting

this to 100% enables the installed maximum light level. A lower percentage level can

be configured to set the new maximum light level of the luminaire through the app.

(See Task tuning.)

Page 11: Single, compact, cost-effective fixture control

11

Eco on level is a configurable switch on light level. This parameter also enables partial-on

occupancy based control to meet energy code. Eco on level should be a percentage level

between the field task level and background light level.

Background level is a light level significantly lower than 100%, used to save energy when

space is not occupied.

Occupancy mode selection can be configured to meet energy code and maximize control

flexibility with adding wireless switches. The mode options are auto on/auto off, manual

on/manual off and manual on/auto off.

Occupancy-based lighting control

Auto on/off mode: Lights are switched on and off automatically based on occupancy

detection and time delay settings.

Manual on/auto off: Lights are turned on manually through a wireless switch and

turned off automatically, as a vacancy sensor.

Manual on/off: Lights are turned on and off manually through a wireless switch

while occupied.

Task tuning

Field task tuning is a feature to reduce the maximum output of a fixture to a certain

percentage of the AOC (adjustable output current) of the driver. After installation, there

is a possibility that the task light level is not set according to the end user needs (light

level too high). Task light level can be adjusted by the installer or building maintenance

personnel to a value between 5% and 100% of the max setting through the app.

Daylight harvesting

Daylight-based control is enabled by default. The light sensor auto-calibrates when

power to the driver is cycled. The light level of the luminaire is bound by field task level

(maximum light level) and background level (minimum light level). If the background light

level is set to be 20%, during daylight harvesting, the light will only dim to 20%.

Daylight-based control is not active after hold time of the occupancy sensor expires.

Figures 6 and 7 show examples of lighting control using both daylight and occupancy. In

both figures, eco on level = field task level. If eco on level is lower, then the maximum light

level will be the eco on level. When the daylight level is low (Figure 6) and an occupant is

present, the luminaire light level is the field task level minus the daylight level. Assuming the

incoming daylight level is constant, luminaire light level remains the same until hold time

expires, then it will fall to the background light level. When the daylight level is high, the

luminaire light level is the field task level minus the daylight level. However, when there is

an abundance of daylight, the luminaire light level does not dim lower than the background

light level (Figure 7).

Low daylight level

Lighting Control

High daylight level

Occupancy sensing

Switch on/off sequence

If occupancy is detected, lights are dimmed up to the eco on light level in 0.7 second. When

occupancy is not detected anymore, the following lighting switch-off sequence is executed:

the sensor will wait until the hold time is expired and then the light fades the background

level in grace fading time. The light level is kept at the background level for prolong time.

After prolong time expires, the light fades from the background level to off in 0.7 second.

Occupancy-based lighting control is enabled by default for the EasySense, and it can be

disabled using an app through NFC or IR.

Use case

Max rating of the luminaire: 4000lm

The user configures the sensor parameters through Philips field apps:

Task tuning level = 80% = 3200lm

Eco on level = 70% = 2800lm

Background light level = 20% = 800lm

Min dimming level of driver = 5% = 200lm

Note: All percentage levels refers to the max rating of the luminaire.

Figure 7. Lighting control behavior with high daylight level.

Page 14: Single, compact, cost-effective fixture control

14 Philips

The full dimming range of the luminaire is bounded by task tuning and min dimming

level. By setting field task tuning = 80% and with driver minimum dimming level = 5%,

the luminaire light output range is 3200lm to 200lm. The automatic lighting control range

is 2800lm to 800lm by setting the Eco on level to 70% and background light level to 20%.

However the wireless switch can be used to control the full dimming range of the light

(3200lm ~ 200lm).

Partial-on and partial-off occupant sensing

Easysense sensor offers both partial-on and partial-off occupancy control strategy to meet

Title 24 use case through setting a few parameters.

Two means of realizing partial-on occupancy sensing:

• Under auto on/auto off mode: Eco on level (100% by default) can be set less than 100%

to automatically switch on the lights partially. It is recommended to set between 50%

and 70% to meet Title 24.

• Under manual on mode, the light goes to the eco on level when the switch is pressed.

EasySense

Lighting Control

Partial-off occupancy sensing can be achieved by configuring the prolong time

to “infinity” and background light level less than 100% for applications like corridors

and warehouse aisle ways.

Manual dimming override

Light level can be tuned into any level between max (task tuning level) and min (minimum

dimming level of the LED driver) by pressing the dimming up and dimming down button of

the switch.

• Light level can be set to an intermediate level by manual dimming override using the

wireless switch. When a manual dimming override is performed, daylight-based

control is disabled, and light will be on constantly at this level. When the room

becomes unoccupied, the light goes to the background light level during prolong

time, and if the occupant enters the room before prolong time expires (Figure 10),

the light will stay at the level set by the manual dimming override. If the prolong

time expires, the light will turn off and go to the eco on level when occupant enters

the room (Figure 11).

Mounting to a luminaire

EasySense is a fixture-mount sensor that is directly powered by Philips Advance

Xitanium SR LED driver. It can be mounted to a slot or a cut-out in sheet metal.

1. Mounting in a U-shaped slot in the fixture sheet metal

EasySense can be assembled into an open-ended slot with dimensions following the

cutout dimensions shown in the data sheet. Max sheet metal thickness is 1mm.

Note: in a precaution box, please make sure the the Easysense RF antenna is not

covered by metal.

Page 19: Single, compact, cost-effective fixture control

19

2. Mounting to rectangular cut-out

Another option is attaching EasySense to a cutout in the sheet steel. An additional

mounting ring (Part Number:SMR-50) is used to snap to the EasySense, essentially

sandwiching the sheet steel between the ring and sensor. Thickness to accommodate

this method is 0.7mm to 1mm.

3. OEM-developed mounting options

OEMs can develop mounting provisions specific to their own fixtures and materials.

Wire separation from the connector

Wire distance for remote mounting

It is recommended to keep the wire distance from sensor to SR driver less than 50 feet

and meet the wire gauge requirement to guarantee the performance.

Sensor position

If multiple luminaires are used in the same area, the distance between the different

sensors should be at least 1.5m. This distance will minimize a sensor from “seeing” the

light variation of other luminaires and reacting.

Figure 14. Distance between sensors should be at least 1.5m apart.

Page 22: Single, compact, cost-effective fixture control

22 Philips

EasySense with multiple SR drivers (1:N application)

When a group of luminaires is in the same daylight condition and needs to be operated

at the same level, it is possible to use one sensor to control multiple luminaires. When

EasySense is connected to multiple Xitanium SR drivers, the maximum number of

connected drivers is 10 and only four drivers can have enabled DALI power supply.

To minimize unnecessary losses, it is recommended to turn on only two DALI power

supplies. Each SR driver provides approximately 55mA of current on the DALI bus, and

EasySense is limited to 250mA.

EasySense sends commands to all connected drivers (using broadcast command);

it does not have capabilities for addressing individual drivers. The light commands are

sent as a broadcast command, so occupancy-/daylight-based lighting control and task

tuning operate the same on all connected drivers. The readout of energy information from

the driver will not function. The energy readout of multiple drivers is foreseen for future

sensor generations.

Please note the DALI power supply can only be turned on/off on the SR driver through

MultiOne configurator. For this application, please also make sure all drivers that are

connected to the sensor have the same wiring polarity. SR drivers are shipped with the

power supply on as default.

FAQs

FAQ

Does EasySense work on 0-10v drivers?

No. EasySense works on Philips Advance Xitanium SR LED drivers to enable two-way digital communication directly to the driver and to eliminate need for other auxiliary devices.

Can you use a wall dimmer with EasySense?

SNS102 and higher models can be used with a wireless wall dimmer, e.g., Zigbee green power switch. SNS100 is only for stand-alone operations and does not support wireless switches and dimmers.

How does EasySense compare to Philips ActiLume?

Occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting are similar. Form factors are also similar, with the face of the sensor outside the fixture having the same size. The portion of EasySense within the fixture is slightly deeper and longer to accommodate added functionality. EasySense includes institutional tuning plus energy reporting and also works on Xitanium SR drivers to eliminate the cost and complexity of a separate power pack. EasySense also performs auto-calibration for daylight (see later Q&A).

Is EasySense a DALI sensor?

EasySense works with SR drivers, which use DALI to communicate between driver and sensor. This is the same principle as other SR-certified devices, therefore, EasySense is not a DALI sensor.

Can I use EasySense outside a fixture?

An accessory option is available to enable ceiling mount (part number SNS102CMP). Wiring to the driver must be managed similar to other external mounted sensors (code requirements, etc.). Because EasySense is low-voltage class 2, this is easier than with many other sensors.

Can I use one sensor with multiple fixtures?

Yes, and the ceiling mount option is likely utilized in this use case (called 1:N operation as opposed to 1:1). It usually means turning off the SR power supplies in all but one of the SR drivers. See EasySense with multiple SR drivers 1:N application section.

Is EasySense “code compliant?”

EasySense is self-certified as compliant with the requirements of California's Title 20.

What about Title 24 and ASHRAE?

These codes apply to the application of lighting and controls within a space, not individual components. They are very detailed, and lighting experts choose the proper lighting and control strategy to meet applicable codes. Use cases, interpretations and specific applications by state/local ordinance vary widely. EasySense is an economical component that can be used to meet many elements of code.

Page 24: Single, compact, cost-effective fixture control

24 Philips

Does EasySense do “auto-off/manual-on?” I hear it is required to meet codes.

SNS102 supports auto-off/manual-on functionality via wireless switches. There are use cases in codes that are interpreted to require auto-off/manual-on. The auto-off/ partial-on mode can be supported by eco-on.

How do you handle use cases in codes calling for dimming?

There are use cases in Title 24 that require “controls.” Continuous dimming via wall dimmer is one option to satisfy this requirement. Daylight, task tuning and manual dimming override are also other options to satisfy these use cases that are enabled via EasySense.

Why only PIR? I thought dual-technology sensors were best?

Dual-technology sensors include ultrasonic as well as infrared (PIR) technology. Use of ultrasonic developed out of the need to 1) discern small movements better and 2) “see” through partitions. Philips PIR technology has developed over recent years to handle small movements quite well. PIR does not transmit through walls/partitions, so sensors using ultrasound may have benefit when using a single sensor for large areas with blocking elements. EasySense targets bringing controls to a more granular level rather than only controlling a large space, such that PIR will see its designated space very well.

Does EasySense make sense if I only want to do occupancy sensing?

Yes. Most occupancy sensors run on high voltage or require an extra power pack, adding cost and complexity. Typical wallplate-style occupancy sensors — while mass produced and inexpensive — vary in performance by use case since the viewing angle from a wall is less than ideal. Also, the relay-free operation of EasySense makes it inherently more reliable. And traditional occupancy sensors are bulky compared to the compact size of EasySense.

How does the daylight harvesting feature work?

EasySense does auto-calibration (T20 requirement) when the fixture is first powered. See the system startup behavior/auto-calibration section for details. Electric lighting will not reduce below the programmed background light level regardless of daylight availability. Traditional sensors lacking auto-calibration are either pre-set with an assumed task light level or require manual calibration during commissioning.

Is EasySense “failsafe"?

Unlike traditional occupancy sensors, EasySense does not have a mechanical relay. This is a benefit of SR drivers, as on/off is done relay-free within the driver. Devices with mechanical relays should be designed so that relay failure results in “lights on.” If an SR driver does not see a digital signal from a device for a long period of time (e.g., loose connection, sensor failure), the driver goes to full programmed output.
